Soundarya Lahiri Chanting
Soundarya Lahiri meaning “Waves of Beauty” is a text of 100 verses written by Adi Sankaracharya. The 100 shlokas (verses) eulogize the beauty, grace and munificence of Goddess Shakti/ Parvati / Dakshayani, consort of Shiva.
Under the tutelage of our guru Priya Vasant, some of us embarked on a spiritual quest to learn the 100 verses of Soundarya Lahiri.
Men and women reverently carried 101 offerings/neivedhyams in a procession and one offering was made after each verse was chanted. The pooja concluded with a traditional aarti and soulful rendition of Ambal songs. Devotees offered flowers and took blessings from Ambal. The day ended with an elaborate lunch.
